of her head and woke up in hospital in England. Finally after long

an activist for girls' education. Now a recent Oxford graduate,

This book, as a part of a series of CERES publications, provides a
multi-regional and cross-sectoral analysis of food and water
security, especially in the era of climate risks, biodiversity
loss, pressure on scarce resources, especially land and water,
increasing global population, and changing dietary preferences. It
includes both conceptual research and empirically-based studies,
which provides context-specific analyses and recommendations based
on a variety of case studies from Africa, Middle East, and Asia
regarding the fostering of long-term resilience of food and water
security. The core approach of the volume consists of: assessing
the structural drivers affecting the vulnerability of food and
water security, under the persistence of current trends;
identifying the best solutions and practices to enhance the climate
resilience for food and water security; and fostering climate
adaptation and biodiversity protection for food and water security.
Climate change is expected to influence several productive sectors,
the most significant of which is agriculture. Agriculture comprises
an important sector of the global economy that includes crops,
livestock, and seafood. Agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries are
closely linked to the climate, with changes in climatic conditions
able to drastically affect animal and plant productivity, which in
turn has a direct impact on human well-being. Impacts of Climate
Change on Agriculture and Aquaculture is a critical scholarly
publication that provides an integrated assessment of climate
change impacts on agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries and
explores a set of strategies to secure sustainable food security.
While highlighting the associations between climate change, food
security, and socio-economic development, the book establishes an
inventory of good agricultural practices for the adaptation to
climate change and presents solutions for making agricultural and
food systems more sustainable. Featuring a wide range of topics
such as carbon sequestration, ecosystem management, and
desertification, this book is ideal for agriculturalists,
environmentalists, fisheries, marine biologists, ichthyologists,
government officials, academicians, policy makers, scientists,
professionals, researchers, and students.
